No idea they could still be living with such damage. I always rescue turtles I see crossing the road--but never messed with any already hit...  |

Re: Roadside Euthanisia of A Snapping Turtle
Aww no! It brings back to mind when I was living in Virginia and always used to move snapping turtles off the road. Someone drove right over a young one as I was waving them down to stop them. The large cracking noise will stay with me forever. I was literally in tears. He had blood pouring out of him. There was nothing I could do to save him and I didn't know what else to do so I moved him off the road. I probably left him to die in agony. I feel bloody terrible now. It still makes me tear up thinking about him/her! Thanks for posting. I hope it reminds people to think about turtles and other animals that have been run over. I also remember reading that when opossums have been run over they may have live babies in their pouch. |

Re: Roadside Euthanisia of A Snapping Turtle
That really upset me Im glad that guy was able to end its suffering quickly. Fucking idiots and their cars again, always in a fucking rush to get somewhere 5 minutes ago, or chatting shit on their phones; concentrate on the road ahead ffs. |

Re: Roadside Euthanisia of A Snapping Turtle
Why would this guy expect someone to stop and see if a road squished turtle is dead or not? It's not worth risking your own safety unless you plan on making some turtle soup.

Re: Roadside Euthanisia of A Snapping Turtle
I have stopped on the road dozens and dozens of time. I guess my luck could be running out. |
